BJP, RSS behind Pulwama attack: Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan
Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan says BJP and RSS are behind Pulwama attack.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Punjab Information and Culture Minister Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan has on Wednesday claimed that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are behind the Pulwama attack.
The provincial minister expressed his views while talking to media in Lahore. He maintained that both the Indian parties were behind Pathankot and Uri incidents as well.
“Indian organizations conduct terrorism to gain political benefits,” he said.
Pulwama attack
At least 44 Indian paramilitary soldiers were killed on Thursday in Indian-occupied Kashmir in one the deadliest attacks. The attack saw explosives packed inside a van rip through buses in a convoy of 78 vehicles carrying some 2,500 members of the paramilitary CRPF.
Two blue buses carrying around 35 people each bore the brunt of the massive blast, heard miles away, around 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the city of Srinagar on the main highway to Jammu.
Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since independence. Rebels have been fighting for an independent Kashmir, or a merger with Pakistan, for 30 years.
Last year was the deadliest in a decade, with rights monitors saying almost 600 Kashmiri people died, most of them civilians. Thousands more have been maimed in recent years by pellet-firing shotguns used by Indian forces.
